Nice. This is almost 50% less then I've ever seen it.This won't help much with strategy (can actually be counterproductive for that), but will help learn how pieces move. This is worth it just for the standard chess board and pieces (one side of the board is a standard board).

Oh, that's a really good deal. This was very helpful when my son and I were learning. It has cards to remember the moves at first and then you can progress to play without them.

Looks like Amazon is matching Walgreens' clearance [walgreens.com].

Amazon delivery is out to September 10 now. Great deal though. I'm in for 1. Hopefully another deal doesn't happen before it arrives, else I might forget and buy it again. 😅

Similar to the other comments, this is a great set. The instructions have rules for a progression of levels, from "I don't know know the pieces move" to regular chess rules.

The cards are obviously phased out over time, but are really helpful for kids starting out.

As an example, the first level has you drawing a card and moving a piece that matches the card. Then you have a hand of 3 cards, and you choose which piece to move from your hand.

Some concepts are also held back, like check and en passant - these are more advanced, confusing concepts for kids just starting out.

All in all, I really love this set for teaching kids to play chess, I can't really think of a better way of doing it. My now 6 year old has been using it for a year or so. She doesn't have the strategy, but she loves using the cards and playing.

Is chess really that hard to learn how to play? I remember playing in 3rd grade. I mean, there are only six different pieces so you only need to remember six things. I'd say it would be more important to determine if your child likes the overall concept of chess. It's not exactly a stimulating game on the surface.

Good set.

Taught my 4.5 year old how to play. He learned pretty quickly though and didn't need the cards within a couple play sessions. However, the cards are still a nice touch as a handicap. He's 6 years old now and for example we play where he doesn't use cards (normal free control) but then I draw 5 cards and I'm handicapped to only being able to use the cards to move. Then I keep adding more cards to my hand to decrease the handicap if he consistently beats me. Eventually we'll just move to normal chess on both sides.

I was able to give this to my nephew for Christmas when he was 6-1/2, It takes the place of the mindless board games like Sorry!, Candyland or Chutes and Ladders off the bat. But you can get them used to it then slowly phase them into Chess. If they don't end up liking Chess it at least imprints the basics in there in case it's ever useful and also gives the very start of the concept of basic strategy and critical thinking. My Nephew was playing actual chess as of a year ago (5 years later) and playing games like the Pokémon card game etc. He even transitioned to a Euro-style board game with "family rules" recently. Personally, I think it was a factor. If not - Then he at least liked it.
